James Webb Space Telescope
NASA's Hubble telescope captured a stunning spiraling star formation in the center of stellar nursery that sits 200,000 light-years away from Earth.
The young stars can be seen spiraling into the center of a huge cluster of stars known as NGC 346 located in the Small Magellanic Cloud, which is a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way and one of our closest galactic neighbors.
Researchers using the power of Hubble and the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope say the outer arm of the spiral could be feeding star formation in a river-like motion of gas and stars.
The stellar nursery's unique shape has long puzzled astronomers. NGC 346 also boasts the mass of 50,000 suns. To put that into context, the sun is massive enough to hold about 1.3 million Earths inside of it.
It took the combined power of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) to unravel the behavior of this mysterious-looking stellar nesting ground...........
